A place for everyone to thrive!

The YMCA is a charitable organization, and we make sure we keep everyone active and engaged, regardless of age or ability to pay. The Y has activities and fitness classes specifically designed for older adults. We give participants an opportunity to stay physically and socially active.

Walk With Ease

OPEN TO ALL AGES

Join us this fall for Walk With Ease, a nationally recognized walking program designed to help reduce arthritis pain and improve overall health. Kicking off in September, participants will walk together at various scenic locations around Pueblo including the beautiful new Dr. Bruno DeRose Track & Field at the Y, the Riverwalk, and more!

While the program is especially beneficial for those with arthritis, you don’t need to have arthritis to join! Whether you're managing joint pain or simply looking to stay active and healthy, this program is for you.

Virtual Classes

Zoom Group Exercise is officially retired, but we’re thrilled to welcome you back in person! We’ve loved staying connected virtually, and now we’re excited to sweat, stretch, and move together again, live and in the building. Come experience the energy, community, and motivation you can only find in a group class at the Y!

In-Person Classes

If you are ready and able, we'd love to have you join us in-person for select classes! Active Older Adult classes will be held in the gymnasium on the south court or our Exercise Studio. Please bring your own water bottle and/or towel.

Book Club

In partnership with:

Book Club is a great way to expand your horizons, improve your reading skills, promote learning, and enjoy stimulating conversation while building lasting relationships. Thank you to the Pueblo City-County Library District for partnering with our YMCA to provide the following selection:

August's pick: "The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife" by Anna Johnston. This is a story of 82-year-old, Frederick Fife, who is on the brink of homelessness after losing his wife and home. A case of mistaken identity leads him to take the place of Bernard Greer, a resident of Wattle River Nursing Home, where he finds unexpected belonging and a chance to rebuild his life.

Please note: It is the responsibility of individual book club participants to check out books from the library under their own account if they so choose. You can view the YMCA library branch's hours here.

Discussion date: Thursday, September 4th from 9:00am - 10:00am in the YMCA Community Rooms
